Masengo 13
1 Mu mpingo wa ŵandu ŵakunkulupilila Kilisito ŵa ku Antiokia, ŵapali ŵane ŵaŵaliji ŵakulondola ŵa Akunnungu ni ŵakwiganya. Mwa ŵelewo, ŵapali che Banaba ni che Simeoni jwakuŵilanjikwa jwampiliu ni che Lukio jwa ku Kulene ni che Sauli ni che Manaeni ŵaŵalelitwe pamo ni mwenye che Helode.
Now there were in the church that was at Antioch certain prophets and teachers; as Barnabas, and Simeon that was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, which had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.
2 Nipele, paŵaliji nkupopela kwa Ambuje ni kutaŵa, Mbumu jwa Akunnungu ŵatite, “Mumichile pajika che Banaba ni che Sauli, kwa ligongo lya masengo ganaŵilasile.”
As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them.
3 Nipele, paŵamasile kutaŵa ni kupopela, ŵaasajichile makono gao ni kwaleka ajaulangane.
And when they had fasted and prayed, and laid [their] hands on them, they sent [them] away.
4 Nipele, che Banaba ni che Sauli ali alajiswe ni Mbumu jwa Akunnungu ŵatulwiche mpaka ku Seleukia, kutyochela kweleko ŵakwesile ngalaŵa mpaka ku chilumba cha Kupulo.
So they, being sent forth by the Holy Ghost, departed unto Seleucia; and from thence they sailed to Cyprus.
5 Paŵaiche ku Salami, ŵaalalichile ŵandu Liloŵe lya Akunnungu mmajumba ga kupopelela Ŵayahudi, che Yohana Maliko ŵaliji pamo nawo nti jwakwatumichila.
And when they were at Salamis, they preached the word of God in the synagogues of the Jews: and they had also John to [their] minister.
6 Paŵajesilejesile mchilumba chose mpaka ku Pafo, ŵansimene nsaŵi jumo Myahudi, jwakulondola jwa unami liina lyakwe Baliyesu.
And when they had gone through the isle unto Paphos, they found a certain sorcerer, a false prophet, a Jew, whose name [was] Bar-jesus:
7 Jweleju ŵaliji pamo ni che Selujio Paolo jwankulu jwa chilumba, mundu juŵaliji ni lunda nnope. Che Selujio Paolo ŵaaŵilasile che Banaba ni che Sauli kuti apilikane Liloŵe lya Akunnungu.
Which was with the deputy of the country, Sergius Paulus, a prudent man; who called for Barnabas and Saul, and desired to hear the word of God.
8 Nambo Elima nsaŵi jo, Elima Mchigiliki malumbo gakwe Jwakukanila, ŵasachile kunsiŵila jwankulu jwa chilumba anaukulupilile Ukilisito.
But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name by interpretation) withstood them, seeking to turn away the deputy from the faith.
9 Nipele che Sauli jwakuŵilanjikwa che Paolo, ali aguumbele Mbumu jwa Akunnungu, ŵankolondolele Elima,
Then Saul, (who also [is called] Paul, ) filled with the Holy Ghost, set his eyes on him,
10 ni kuti, “Mmwe nli mwanache jwa Shetani! Mmwe nli jwammagongo jwa ya usyene yose! Mmwe nli jwaunami jwankulu ni jwaulamba! Moŵa gose ngankuleka kugalyungasya matala ga goloka ga Ambuje.
And said, O full of all subtilty and all mischief, [thou] child of the devil, [thou] enemy of all righteousness, wilt thou not cease to pervert the right ways of the Lord?
11 Sambano, ulamusi wa Ambuje chiunlamule, chimme jwangalola ni nganliwona lyuŵa kwa katema.” Papopo pepo lyannyichilile lipundugulu ni chipi, ni ŵajendajendaga achinsosaga mundu jwakunkamula nkono kuti ŵaalongosye.
And now, behold, the hand of the Lord [is] upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing the sun for a season. And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness; and he went about seeking some to lead him by the hand.
12 Jwankulu jwa chilumba jula paŵaiweni iyatendekwe yo, ŵankulupilile Che Yesu, ni ŵagasimosile nnope majiganyo gaŵagapilikene gankati Ambuje.
Then the deputy, when he saw what was done, believed, being astonished at the doctrine of the Lord.
13 Nipele, che Paolo ni mpingo wakwe ŵakwesile ngalaŵa kutyochela ku Pafo ni ŵaichenje ku Pega mmusi wa Pamfilia, nambo che Yohana Maliko ŵaalesile ni kuujila ku Yelusalemu.
Now when Paul and his company loosed from Paphos, they came to Perga in Pamphylia: and John departing from them returned to Jerusalem.
14 Nambo ŵanyawo ŵapelengenye kutyochela ku Pega mpaka ku Pisidia mmusi wa ku Antiokia. Nipele ŵajinjile mu nyuumba ja kupopelela pa Lyuŵa lya Kupumulila ni kutama.
But when they departed from Perga, they came to Antioch in Pisidia, and went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and sat down.
15 Paŵamasile kusyoma mchitabu cha Malajisyo ni mu itabu ya Ŵakulondola, ilongola ŵa nyuumba ja kupopelela jila ŵalajisye utenga kukwao kuti, “Achalongo achinjetu, iŵaga nkwete maloŵe gagali gose gakwalimbisya mitima ŵandu ŵa, mmechete.”
And after the reading of the law and the prophets the rulers of the synagogue sent unto them, saying, [Ye] men [and] brethren, if ye have any word of exhortation for the people, say on.
16 Nipele, che Paolo ŵajimi, ŵajongwele nkono ni kutanda kuŵecheta, “Ŵanyamwe Ŵaisilaeli achinjangu ni wose unkwalamba Akunnungu, mpilikanichisye!
Then Paul stood up, and beckoning with [his] hand said, Men of Israel, and ye that fear God, give audience.
17 Akunnungu ŵa ŵandu Ŵaisilaeli ŵaasagwile achambuje ŵetu, ni kwakusya paŵatamaga kuchilendo ku Misili kula. Ni kwa ukombole wao wekulungwa ŵaakopwesye kweleko.
The God of this people of Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they dwelt as strangers in the land of Egypt, and with an high arm brought he them out of it.
18 Ni ŵaapililile mwipululu mula kwa yaka alobaini.
And about the time of forty years suffered he their manners in the wilderness.
19 Nipele, ŵasijonasile ngosyo nsano ni siŵili sya mchilambo cha Kanaani ni ŵapele ŵanyawo chilambo cho kuti ajinjilanje majumba.
And when he had destroyed seven nations in the land of Chanaan, he divided their land to them by lot.
20 Yeleyo yatendekwe kwa yaka mia nne na hansini. “Payamasile yele Akunnungu ŵapele ŵakulamula kuti ŵaalongosye mpaka katema ka che Samweli jwakulondola jwa Akunnungu.
And after that he gave [unto them] judges about the space of four hundred and fifty years, until Samuel the prophet.
21 Ni pelepo ŵasachile kuŵa ni mwenye, ni Akunnungu ŵapele che Sauli mwanagwao che Kishi jwa lukosyo lu che Benyamini aŵe mwenye jwao kwa yaka makumi ncheche.
And afterward they desired a king: and God gave unto them Saul the son of Cis, a man of the tribe of Benjamin, by the space of forty years.
22 Akunnungu paŵantyosisye che Sauli, ŵansagwile che Daudi kuŵa mwenye jwao. Ŵalosisye kwakunda paŵasasile umboni nkati jwelejo paŵatite, ‘Nammweni che Daudi mwanagwao che Yese, mundu jwakuunonyelesya ntima wangu, juchagatendekanye gose gingusaka kugatendekanya.’
And when he had removed him, he raised up unto them David to be their king; to whom also he gave testimony, and said, I have found David the [son] of Jesse, a man after mine own heart, which shall fulfil all my will.
23 Kutyochela mu lukosyo lu che Daudi Akunnungu ŵaapele Ŵaisilaeli Nkulupusyo, jwelejo ali Che Yesu mpela iŵatite pakulanga.
Of this man’s seed hath God according to [his] promise raised unto Israel a Saviour, Jesus:
24 Che Yesu akanaŵe kugatanda masengo, ŵalongolele che Yohana achaalalichilaga ŵandu wose ŵa ku Isilaeli aleche sambi ni kubatiswa.
When John had first preached before his coming the baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.
25 Nkumalisya masengo gakwe, che Yohana ŵaausisye ŵandu, ‘Ana nkuganisya kuti uneji ndili Chiwombosyo? Uneji nganima ŵelewo ŵankwalindilila. Ŵelewo akwika panyuma pangu, ni uneji nganguŵajilwa kugopola migoji ja italawanda yao.’
And as John fulfilled his course, he said, Whom think ye that I am? I am not [he]. But, behold, there cometh one after me, whose shoes of [his] feet I am not worthy to loose.
26 “Achalongo achinjangu ŵanli ŵanache ŵa che Iblahimu, ni ŵanyamwe ŵanganimma Ŵayahudi ŵankwalamba Akunnungu! Au utenga wa ukulupusyo wu uiche kukwetu.
Men [and] brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and whosoever among you feareth God, to you is the word of this salvation sent.
27 Pakuŵa ŵanyawo ŵakutama ku Yelusalemu pamo ni achakulu ŵao nganiŵamanyilila Che Yesu kuti ali Nkulupusyo, iyoyo nganagamanyilila malembelo ga ŵakulondola ŵa Akunnungu gagakusyomekwa pa Lyuŵa lya Kupumulila lyalili lyose. Kwa ligongo lyo ŵagamalichisye maloŵe ga ŵakulondola ŵa Akunnungu pakwalamula Che Yesu kuŵambikwa pa nsalaba.
For they that dwell at Jerusalem, and their rulers, because they knew him not, nor yet the voices of the prophets which are read every sabbath day, they have fulfilled [them] in condemning [him].
28 Atamuno nganalisimana liwamba lyakuulagwa, nambo ŵaŵendile che Pilato aulajikwe.
And though they found no cause of death [in him], yet desired they Pilate that he should be slain.
29 Paŵamalisisye kupanganya yanayose iyalembekwe mmalembelo yankati ŵelewo, nipele ŵaatulwisye pa nsalaba ni kwasika mu lilembe lya mbugu.
And when they had fulfilled all that was written of him, they took [him] down from the tree, and laid [him] in a sepulchre.
30 Nambo Akunnungu ŵansyusisye.
But God raised him from the dead:
31 Kwa moŵa gamajinji ŵaonekanaga kwa aŵala ŵaŵakwesile nawo kutyochela ku Galilaya kwaula ku Yelusalemu. Nombewo sambano ali ŵaumboni ŵakwe kwa ŵandu ŵa ku Isilaeli.
And he was seen many days of them which came up with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are his witnesses unto the people.
32 Ni uweji tuiche pelepa kukwalalichila Ngani Jambone ja chilanga chiŵachiŵisile Akunnungu kwa achambuje ŵetu.
And we declare unto you glad tidings, how that the promise which was made unto the fathers,
33 Akunnungu achimalisisye chilanga cho sambano kwa ligongo lyetu uweji ŵatuli isukulu yao pakwasyusya Che Yesu. Mpela yaitite pakulembekwa mu Sabuli ja kaŵili, ‘Mmweji nli Mwanangu, uneji lelo jino mele Atati ŵenu.’
God hath fulfilled the same unto us their children, in that he hath raised up Jesus again; as it is also written in the second psalm, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.
34 Yankati kusyuka ku Che Yesu, kuti ngasawa sooni, Akunnungu ŵatite yelei, ‘Chinampe upile weswela wausyene unalanjile che Daudi.’
And as concerning that he raised him up from the dead, [now] no more to return to corruption, he said on this wise, I will give you the sure mercies of David.
35 Elo, ni mwine mwine mu Sabuli akuti, ‘Ngamunneka Jwanswela jwenu aweje.’
Wherefore he saith also in another [psalm], Thou shalt not suffer thine Holy One to see corruption.
36 Nambo nginiŵa yele ku che Daudi, pakuŵa che Daudi nsyene ŵatendekenye malinga ni iŵaisachile Akunnungu kutendekanya katema kao, nipele ŵawile ni ŵaasichile mu lilembe lya mbugu pachiŵandi ni achatati ŵao, ni chiilu chao chaosile.
For David, after he had served his own generation by the will of God, fell on sleep, and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corruption:
37 Nambo, jwele juŵasyusikwe ni Akunnungu ngasawola.
But he, whom God raised again, saw no corruption.
38 Nipele, achalongo achinjangu Ŵaisilaeli, mmanyilile kuti kwa litala li Che Yesu, utenga wa kulecheleswa sambi ukulalichilwa kukwenu, nikuti jwalijose jwakunkulupilila Kilisito akulecheleswa sambi syose, chindu changachikukomboleka kukundikwa kwa litala lya Malajisyo ga Akunnungu gaŵapele che Musa.
Be it known unto you therefore, men [and] brethren, that through this man is preached unto you the forgiveness of sins:
39 Jwalijose juchankulupilile Jwelejo chaŵalanjikwe ŵambone paujo pa Akunnungu chindu chati Malajisyo ga che Musa ngagakukombola kuchipanganya.
And by him all that believe are justified from all things, from which ye could not be justified by the law of Moses.
40 Nipele, nlilolechesye chikansimana chechila chiŵachisasile ŵakulondola ŵa Akunnungu,
Beware therefore, lest that come upon you, which is spoken of in the prophets;
41 ‘Mpilikanichisye ŵanyamwe ŵakulikanganichila, nsimonje nkawe! Pakuŵa chindu chinguchipanganya, mmoŵa ga, chindu cho ngankajitichisye atamuno mundu akansalile.’”
Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I work a work in your days, a work which ye shall in no wise believe, though a man declare it unto you.
42 Che Paolo ni che Banaba paŵakopokaga mu nyuumba ja kupopelela jila, ŵandu ŵala ŵaachondelele aichanje sooni kukwasalila maloŵe go, Lyuŵa lya Kupumulila lyalikwika.
And when the Jews were gone out of the synagogue, the Gentiles besought that these words might be preached to them the next sabbath.
43 Paŵapwilingene mu nyuumba ja kupopelela mula, Ŵayahudi ŵajinji ni ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi ŵaŵajitichisye dini ja Chiyahudi ŵaakuiye che Paolo ni che Banaba. Ŵanyawo ŵaŵechete nawo, ni kwalimbisya mitima kuti atamanje achikulupililaga upile wa Akunnungu.
Now when the congregation was broken up, many of the Jews and religious proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas: who, speaking to them, persuaded them to continue in the grace of God.
44 Ni Lyuŵa lya Kupumulila liine, ŵandu ŵajinji, chiŵandi kwichila musi wose ŵasongangene kukupilikanila Liloŵe lya Ambuje.
And the next sabbath day came almost the whole city together to hear the word of God.
45 Nambo Ŵayahudi paŵauweni mpingo wa ŵandu wo ŵagumbele wiu, nipele ŵachikanile chichasalaga che Paolo ni kwatukana.
But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy, and spake against those things which were spoken by Paul, contradicting and blaspheming.
46 Atamuno yeleyo, che Paolo ni che Banaba ŵaŵechete pangali lipamba, “Yaŵajilwe kuti Liloŵe lya Akunnungu litande kusalikwa kaje kwa ŵanyamwe. Nambo pakuŵa nlikanile ni kuganisya mwachinsyene kuti, ngankuŵajilwa kukola umi wa moŵa gose pangali mbesi, nipele tukunneka ni kwagalauchila ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi. (aiōnios g166)
Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and said, It was necessary that the word of God should first have been spoken to you: but seeing ye put it from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles. (aiōnios g166)
47 Pakuŵa Ambuje atulajisye yelei, ‘Nambisile mmweji kuŵa lilanguka kwa ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi, kuti ŵandu wose ŵa pachilambo akulupuswe.’”
For so hath the Lord commanded us, [saying], I have set thee to be a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for salvation unto the ends of the earth.
48 Ŵandu ŵangaŵa Ŵayahudi paŵapilikene yele ŵasengwile, ni kuulapa utenga wa Ambuje, ni ŵandu wose ŵaŵasagulikwe kukola umi wa moŵa gose pangali mbesi, ŵaakulupilile Che Yesu. (aiōnios g166)
And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed. (aiōnios g166)
49 Liloŵe lya Ambuje lyajenele mchilambo chila chose.
And the word of the Lord was published throughout all the region.
50 Nambo Ŵayahudi ŵaachisisye achakongwe ŵakusichila, ŵakwapopela Akunnungu ni achalume ŵakumanyika ŵa mmusi wo. Ni ŵatandite kwalagasya che Paolo ni che Banaba, ni kwaŵinga mchilambo chao.
But the Jews stirred up the devout and honourable women, and the chief men of the city, and raised persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and expelled them out of their coasts.
51 Nipele, achinduna ŵala ŵakung'undile luundu mmakongolo gao kulosya kuti akanikwe, ni ŵajawile ku Ikonio.
But they shook off the dust of their feet against them, and came unto Iconium.
52 Nambo ŵakulijiganya ŵa Che Yesu ku Antiokia kula ŵasengwile ni kugumbala Mbumu jwa Akunnungu.
And the disciples were filled with joy, and with the Holy Ghost.
